Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy St Patrick’s Day, and now for my public service announcement about what you should be drinking this evening.

Green beer will be served in many places.  I’d like to encourage you not to drink any.  No self respecting Irishmen would do such a thing and frankly it’s a mockery to the holiday.

Instead, opt for a Guiness.  Yes, Guiness is an acquired taste.  Today is the best day of the year to begin acquiring your taste.

And for a real Irish treat, get yourself and Irish Carbomb.  And if you’d like to make one at home, here’s how – fill a glass halfway with Guiness.  Now take a shot glass and fill it 2/3 full of Bailey’s Irish Cream.  Top off the shot with Jameson Irish Whiskey.  Now take the shot and drop it in the glass of Guiness and slam it.  It’s is critical that you slam it or you’re in for a nasty surprise.  When taken properly, however, it’s absolutely delicious.

Enjoy
